Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Part-Time Fashion Design Course

Requirements: 18 Years of Age
This programme enables candidates to start exploring the techniques of fashion design by developing skills beyond the basic level to the level required for acceptance into the full-time programme.

The Part-Time Fashion Design course is project-based and runs from the concept through to the design to the construction of the end product.
